Brewing Questions

[Sinkhan]

So seeing that Greenman's Ale (m) is going for around 50k a pop, I've decided to start brewing myself. I've played a few games of Trouble Brewing and have some of "the stuff" (Gonna get a few more though)

 

Just a few questions:

 

1. Does a high cooking level decrease chances of failed brewing?

 

2. How much does "the stuff" increase mature brew chances?

 

3. Is there really any reason to use a calquat keg if I plan to sell? It seems to offer only a quarter of the profits.

1. I think a high cooking level decreases the amount of time it takes for the ale to ferment.

 

2. 50%

1. Not that I'm aware of.

 

2. The 'stuff' gives you a 50% chance of brewing mature ale, according to the tip.it entry.

 

3. If you're going to sell it, just go with whatever will get you the most money.

1. At 80 cooking, I don't seem to get that many bad ales, but I only started brewing at 76.

 

2. 50%

 

3. Use the calquat kegs to allow you to brew both vats in one run. Bring: 4 kegs, 2 "stuff", 2 pots, 4 barley malt, 4 buckets, 1 ectophial, 8 harralanders, 50gp.

Start from GE, take the cart to keldagrim, and fill your buckets in the well. Buy 2 pots of ale yeast from the guy there, because the guy in port phasmastys sells for ecto-tokens.

After you're done, tele to port phasmatys, and brew that vat there.

 

W/o calquat kegs, you need to do 2 runs, maybe 3? You can just use beer glasses on the calquat kegs to get 4 pints of beer.

Ah so you can use glasses on kegs. I tried the other way around when I wanted to shove some stouts into a keg for LRC mining, but it didn't work. I just assumed using a keg on a glass also didn't work.

 

Thanks for help everyone.
